My lower back tends to crack a lot...is this a sign of weak bones, or just the air popping in between?

Answer 1

I was asking my Osteopath about this and he told me that it is just gases between the joints. If you feel or hear a grinding type noise accompanied by pain you should see your doctor.

Answer 2

If you aren't having any pain associated with it, then you have nothing to worry about. I always crack my back, makes it feel better, but that's just me. It's just regular old air popping if there's no pain.

Answer 3

It could be either of them.My advice to you is to go to the doctor and get an x-ray or get him to check what ever needs to be checked.
